Kp of Two: Brock Takes the Quiet Sky Personally

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentPer NOAA, the planetary K index is at most two. The scale runs zero to nine, and a storm starts at five Eastern.

2. 

   Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistSo where are the northern lights?

3. 

   Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentNear the Arctic Circle, if at all. At a two, that's the whole offer.

4. 

   Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistThe next three days peak at a three. The sky has a plan, and the plan is to ignore me.

5. 

   Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentA three is still below storm level. It ignores everyone equally.

6. 

   Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistThe Moon's a last quarter, fifty-four percent lit. Half a floodlight, aimed at my garden.

7. 

   Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentFull Moon is Tuesday, November twenty-fourth, at nine fifty-three AM Eastern. Mark it, and stop interrogating the sky.

8. 

   Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentAlso, Long March twelve launches nine satellites Thursday, November fifth, at four fifteen PM Eastern. That one is actually happening.

9. 

   Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistRight. I'll stand in my garden, in a windbreaker, waiting on the Orionids, which peaked in October.
